Ok, yesterday I had the day off, so I figure this is the best time to change my belts (since the previous owner didn't and my Max has a 158k on the originals). So I get started and get the two front belts off, but when I get to the last belt (power steering) the mounting bolt that tightens up the idler pulley is bent in the shape of an L. (The previous owner ran over something on the passenger side, when I bought the car I had to replace that strut mount and fog light, so I guess he hit something harder than I had origianlly thought.) So, I spent 3 to 4 hours yesterday driving aroung town trying to find a bolt to replace it. I went to Lowe's, the nissan dealership, pepboys, o'rielys, Napa, and Ace hardware. No one had one so I had to temporarly fix the car until I could go to the Nissan Dealership (again) and buy the whole pulley and tenesioner set. Cost me $52.00.

 

$52 is not too bad, you drove all over and wated more money looking for the stupid bolt. But, good job on the repair!

 

i would have said just go to the gosh darn junk yard for that

 

The SE has belts? I thought it only has a chain that never needs to be replaced.

 

Buhahahehehehe!

 

I would have sent you my spare for 1/2 that.

 

Hey I know this is off topic, GJohnson, but do you still live in tulsa? I'm in claremore and I haven't been able to find any maxima drivers that are maxima enthusiasts. Oh yeah your car is tight

 

I don't get it.

edit: BTW, how do I get those special colors around my name like you and the other 4DSC posse?

Accessory belts are different from timing belts. All cars have one or more accessory belts. As for the timing belt, '92 thru '94 SE (VE30DE) cars have timing chains. All others, '89 thru '91 SE and '89 thru '94 GXE (VG30E), have timing belts.
